URGENT - Archive node with latest snapshot cannot reach live

[MrFrogoz]

Describe the bug

When the node is set with "--l2.enginekind=reth" and starts downloading from a checkpoint to a target, at this point it is very slow:

and when he finishes a set of blocks, he is still always a couple of hours behind and starts again with a new set of blocks. He does this for days without ever catching up to live.

I'm also trying without the "--l2.enginekind=reth" option and the node can only recover one block every 2/3 seconds, it's extremely slow considering how the Base chain is going at the moment, to get back live with a node 1 day behind, it takes about 1 week

Hi @MrFrogoz , what hardware are you running this on? Specifically, what kind of disk, cpu, and total ram?

[MrFrogoz]

Oracle VM AMD 16 Core, 64 GB Ram, Nvme 25K IOPS. Usage when running: CPU 3% - RAM 30% - DISK 40% I/O sum(R/W)

I run many nodes of different blockchains with the same hardware, only Base has slowness issues with blocks sync
